Half of a Umamusume

"It's not just Trainer Qianye. Everyone has more or less secrets that they don't want others to know. However, if they were discovered one day... it might not be a bad thing." The clear golden pupils looked at Elise in front of him.

"Occasionally you will say something serious... Of course, only occasionally." After saying that, the teahouse returned to her room like a phantom. Airi Suzuko blinked and took a sip of red tea with a face full of question marks.

What on earth are you doing here at the teahouse?

Suddenly, some unrealistic ideas came into Airi's head.

Could it be that what she just said was a compliment to me?

"Shirayuki, I'm so sorry!" During the afternoon training, Kiryuin Aoi found Shirayuki and bowed her head to her, "I heard from Miko that you were the one who sent me back home drunk. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble! As a trainer, I should have been watching over everyone, but I ended up getting drunk alone."

"It's okay. Trainers don't have to play the role of guardians all the time. It would be tactless if we don't indulge ourselves a little on these rare happy days."

"Y-yes...By the way, Shirayuki, I didn't say anything weird yesterday, did I?"

"What do you mean by weird words?"

"It's just those willful words, just don't say them, ahaha...see you next time, Shirayuki." Kiryuuin Aoi waved her hand and ran away in a hurry. Shirayuki looked at her back, turned around and went back to Qianye.

At this moment, she no longer felt anything strange when looking at the man's face, as if she was looking in a mirror, and the same was true for Qianye.

"Ha ha……"

"Haha." They both laughed at the same time.

Perhaps his secret will be completely exposed one day in the future, but Qianye is ready to accept everything.

He is Qianye, he is Shirayuki, he is a trainer, and he is also a horse girl.

Chapter 229: The Genius of Europe

On the field, the Emperor of the East China Sea took the lead and won the race with a four-length advantage, as if he had fired the first shot of the golden generation. Qingyun Tiankong, Mejiro Dober, Double Turbine and others also won the races.

Fujiwara Chiya returned to Tresen from the central building. This month, his team won three OP competitions and two big reward competitions. Compared with the previous year, these victories were already an unimaginable grand slam for him. The central government even awarded him the medal of outstanding trainer, and he will be able to take the intermediate trainer assessment at the beginning of next year.

Upon hearing the news, Katsumura Yota immediately hugged his neck.

"Of course, you can actually get the nomination from the central government!"

"No way, this is strength."

"You're really rude. Why don't you say it's just luck?"

"I prefer to tell the truth."

"Depend on!"

The two spoke directly.

Of course, although he was harsh in words, Katsumura Yota was still happy for him. Last year, Qianye was so depressed that Yota suspected that he might not be able to continue and resigned from Tresen. Fortunately, after a year of hitting rock bottom, Qianye's career finally picked up. From OP competitions to high-reward competitions, he began to advance to higher levels.

"Let's go, Brother Long and the others are waiting for you."

"wait for me?"

"He said he had a gift for you."

Is there such a good thing?

When he returned to the office, Qianye found that not only Nishizaki Ryu, but also Minamisaka, Kuronuma and others were there. These people came up and gave Qianye a bear hug, especially Kuronuma. Qianye felt that his body was almost broken by the other's strong muscles.

"This is what we prepared for you, Qianye." Heinuma raised his chin and pointed to a pile of books on the table. Looking at the familiar colorful covers, Qianye's eyes twitched a few times.

"Five years of college entrance exams and three years of simulations?"

"Wrong, it's five years of seniority and three years of special training."

What's the difference……

"We hope you can strive for the title of youngest senior trainer." Nishizaki Ryu patted his shoulder.

"Don't we already have Fumino?"

"Male trainer, Qianye, as a rookie trainer commended by the central government, you must bring glory to our men's team!" Nishizaki Ryu shouted.

"You are the youngest trainer who received the Outstanding Commendation this year." Kuronuma pushed up his sunglasses.

According to the official website, Fujiwara Chiya is the 23-year-old outstanding trainer of the year. The second youngest is a man named Arita Jun, who is 29 years old and is also the trainer of the year. Chiya is a full six years younger than the other!

This is truly the case of the new generation pushing the old generation forward.

Trainer Nansaka smiled but said nothing, his face clearly showed 'I was just dragged here by these two to make up the numbers', and it looked like he had something else he wanted to say.

Qianye looked at Katsumura Yōta next to him. The other party had a sly smile on his face. Qianye wanted to punch him. Now he felt like opening a Christmas present that he had been waiting for so long, but it turned out to be a winter vacation homework.

"So what is the truth..." Fujiwara Chiya didn't believe that these people called him over just to assign winter vacation homework. Nishizaki Ryu and the others looked at each other and finally took out a newspaper.

[The super talent Zhuo Fu from France officially challenges the whole of Europe! ]

The picture shows a pink-haired horse racing girl wearing a one-sided hat with a bow, with side bangs on one side and a pigtail on the other. She is wearing a tights that exposes half of her belly, and judging by the style, it should be a winning dress. Her bright blue eyes are looking at the camera.

"...Zhuo Fu?" Fujiwara Chiye muttered.

"As you can see, she is a French horse girl who won the [Ruby Trophy] not long ago."

Hearing the words "Ruby Trophy", Fujiwara Chiya narrowed his eyes. This is the most famous first-class event in France, and it is also among the best in the world. This horse girl looks very young. Could it be her first year in the competition? In that case, she can indeed be called a genius.

But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?

"Stupid, you're going to participate in the European Grand Prize Tournament next year. Now that an opponent like this suddenly appears, aren't you nervous?"

"It's not like she and I will necessarily face off, and there's still an elimination match to go, so you guys should just assume I'll win."

"The reputation of our men's team rests on you. If you dare to lose, I will not forgive you. And she said she wants to participate in the Arc de Triomphe, and you are still not willing to do so?" Nishizaki Ryu pointed at the newspaper, which listed the opponent's competition schedule. The next battle would be the [Arc de Triomphe Award].

The Central European Championships plan will involve participating in the Arc de Triomphe twice, with the first year being a test run and the second year being the time to strive for the championship.

If Qianye can win the next elimination match, the two will definitely meet in the competition.

"Next year?"

Fujiwara Chiya calculated that one year should be enough for him to bring Shirayuki's strength to the peak. Of course, if someone else is stronger than Shirayuki, he can let someone else take the field. However, considering the controllability, Chiya still hopes that Shirayuki will take the field.

"But why are we starting preparations now?" Fujiwara Chiye was a little confused. The opponent was indeed very strong, but there was no need to rush.

"That's what we thought." Nishizaki Ryu scratched his head.

"Until yesterday," Kuronuma added.

"That person has sent news." Trainer Nansaka finally spoke, a serious expression on his face.

"that person?"

"That's the trainer known as the 'Magician on the Court'..." Katsumura Yota became unusually nervous.

"Just tell me what you're saying, stop keeping us in suspense!" Fujiwara Chiye couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Nase Hideto." Nishizaki Ryu explained the reason why they were so anxious. The trainer, who was known as a genius, was awarded the title of "senior" at a young age and had trained hundreds of horse girls who had won big prize races.

He ran away to Europe when he was in his forties, and it has been almost ten years now. Just yesterday, Tresson received the news that Naise Hideto was preparing to return.

The entire Japanese horse racing world was shocked.

He is a person who can change the landscape of trainers. The competitions he participates in are like magic, always bringing surprises and miracles to people. That's how he got the title of 'Magician on the Field'.

It is indeed exciting news that the youngest senior trainer is returning to China, but Nishizaki Ryu and the others do not seem happy.

Speaking of the surname Naise, could it be that...

"Nase Eito, he is the father of Nanase Fumino, and also the trainer of the talented horse girl, Zhuofu."

thump!

Fujiwara Chiya's heart suddenly beat, and he remembered the man who used to visit his house often, and who always had a serious expression on his face.

It turned out to be Fumino’s father…

"This is what we are worried about. A genius trainer and a genius horse girl. Qianye, are you sure you can defeat these two people?"

Fujiwara Chiya swallowed, he felt that he had faced the biggest challenge in his career.

Chapter 230: Nanase Fumino's Promise

Nanase Fumino has been in a bad mood since this morning. She has a stern face and looks at people with a bit more ferocity. Recently, her colleagues who seemed to have softened their attitude a little wanted to come up and say hello to her, but were glared back at.

Her expression only looks better when she's facing her own horse girl.

"Fumino, what's wrong with you?"

Fujiwara Chiya stepped forward to ask, but was glared at by the other party so fiercely that he couldn't help but take a step back.

"It's okay." Seeing that the person coming was Qianye, Nase Fumino pushed her bangs back.

Fujiwara Chiye cleared his throat. He remembered what Brother Long said when he was scolded by Trainer Tojo. Women always have those days, so just leave them alone.

But as childhood sweethearts, Qianye still wanted to help her sort out her feelings, so he started to find topics to talk about.

"By the way, Fumino, I heard that Mr. Yingren..."

Snapped!

Before he could finish his words, Fumino Nase grabbed him by the collar.

"Don't mention his name in front of me." The other party lowered her voice and looked quite annoyed, but she soon realized what she had done and immediately let go of her hand. Her eyes moved around in panic and finally she whispered, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Fujiwara Chiya shook her head. The two of them just stood there, looking at the man who didn't care. Nanase Fumino sighed and spoke again: "I hate that guy."

"Are you guys on bad terms?"

"It's very bad. It has been bad since the day we moved out."

"Why……"

Nanase Fumino leaned on the railing. She didn't want to recall what happened that day, but since Qianye asked, she wanted to take this opportunity to complain.

"We had a big fight and hardly spoke to each other for a few days. Then...that person went to work." Having said this, Nanase Fumino clenched her fists.

"That person's mind was not on me at all. He only thought about his work and hardly ever came home. Every time he came back, he just took a quick look and left. We didn't even say a word."

"You hate him because he ignored you?"

"No." Nase Fumino shook her head. If it were just that, she wouldn't hate the other person to this extent. The key is the things that happened later.

"Didn't I promise you that I would become a trainer? I succeeded, but you know what people around me said... They said, 'You're worthy of being Yingren's daughter.'" Nanase Fumino showed an expression that was both angry and amused.

"That irresponsible father, the one who didn't come back for months and never took care of me, is regarded by everyone as the key to success. What does my becoming a trainer have to do with that guy!?"

Nanase Fumino was very emotional, and Qianye had never seen her so angry.

However, that father, the father she had finally gotten rid of, ran back from Europe, and Nanase Fumino felt worse than ever.

Not knowing how to comfort her, Fujiwara Chiya could only pat her on the back gently. He understood why Fumino hated her. In fact, he had made the same mistake.

He took Fumino's success for granted and regarded her as a genius that ordinary people could not reach. He ignored the efforts made by Fumino behind the halo of "genius". She had put in much more effort than others to become a trainer.

But such efforts were downplayed by others with a sentence "Because you are the daughter of Nase Hideto", and all her efforts were overshadowed by the glory of her father.

Nase Fumino hated these people, and she hated Nase Hideto even more, who ignored her and devoted all his energy to his career.

Fujiwara Chiya patted Fumino's back gently. He only hated his own low emotional intelligence. He couldn't say anything to change Fumino's mood, so he could only comfort her in this clumsy way.

A few minutes later, Fumino's mood improved. She said to Qianye, "I'm sorry for getting mad at you just now. I shouldn't have taken it out on you."

"It doesn't matter. I would definitely be angry if it were me." Fujiwara Chiya shook his head.

"In this regard, Trainer Shanzai is many times better than that guy."

"Dad? What happened to him?"

"He is a very low-key person who doesn't like to be in the spotlight, and he knows how to care about others, whereas that guy... doesn't care about anything except his career."

As she spoke, Nanase Fumino gritted her teeth. She always called her father "that guy".

In fact, Qianye’s family is very similar to hers, both have a horse racing mother and a trainer father, but the difference is that Qianye grew up under the care of both of them, and Qianye himself also inherited his father’s character, and once he decides to do something, he will do it to the end.

On the other hand, Wen Noi was raised without any care, and the reason she didn't go astray was entirely because of the agreement she made with Qianye and her revenge on her father.

"One day I will surpass him and get rid of the title of 'Eito's daughter'. I will surpass all his genius deeds. From now on, when people mention Naze Eito, they will only think of him as Fumino's father."

It was she who broke the record for the youngest trainer, and it will also be her who breaks the record for the youngest senior trainer!
